Can MCTS dynamically determine that it needs to analyze a certain line to a much higher depth than normal due to the specifics of the situation?

That’s the type of flexible reflection that is needed. I think most people would agree that the hard-coded ladder solver in Katago is not ideal, and feels like a dirty hack. The system should learn when it needs to do special analysis, not have us tell it when to. It’s good that it works, but it’d be better if it didn’t need us to hard-code such knowledge.

Humans are capable of realizing what a ladder is on their own (even if many learn from external sources). And it definitely isn’t hard-coded into us :)
Rules on Re-Submission?
Yesterday I posted a project I thought was really cool but it sadly didn't get much traction.

My experience on Twitter is you have to try and find the right time to post things to get the best traffic.

What's the rules on re-submission here? I figure I could post it again with a 12 hour offset from the last post's time to target the opposite timezone. If that doesn't work out, I'll just deal with it :)
If one believes that collection should be for the benefit of the public, proper organization would remove it from the estate that goes to the heirs.

It wouldn't matter if the heirs value it or not, because it wouldn't have been theirs. Because he let it remain in his estate, he left it to his heirs to decide what to do with it, and clearly, they did not care to keep it as a public collection, nor to endeavor to keep it together as a collection. I guess I should have visited it when I had the chance.
Arguably, they did turn it off: the whole IDE, at once.
Not lasting forever but car bodies are fully submersed during the painting process and should seal many of the areas you mentioned for a good time.
TBH i do not see "prompts" to be copyrightable. For one, they're incredibly short (e.g. most image generators will output something for "a green field" - who owns that prompt?). For another, they're incredibly reliant on pretty much everything else around the system: the same prompt can produce wildly different results based on different algorithms, models, weights, etc. And let's not forget that not everything uses a "prompt".

Prompts are really just a UI (with a bad UX IMO, it just happens to be impressive at a first glance to "talk with the computer"), trying to copyright a prompt is akin to trying to copyright a series of clicks and keypresses in an image editor to produce some effect (and just like a "prompt", you'd easily get different results depending on where you apply that effect, what program/version you are using, etc).
Those “Wat”s are mostly the result ot weak typing, (as opposed to strong typing) which is an entirely orthogonal concept to static/dynamic typing. Don’t confuse the two concepts. Older languages which first started to experiment with dynamic typing also tended to use weak typing. But as things progressed, weak typing was considered less good in serious languages, while it was still expected in “scripting” languages, and Javascript was designed with that principle. Nowadays we have more or less decided that weak typing is almost always a bad idea, and Python is an example of a modern dynamically typed, and also strongly typed, language.
Doesn't make enough drama.

Bad coders are bad coders. It has nothing to do with an IDE or features that streamline the process. Code
Organization takes a higher-level of intelligence or skill that most people rarely develop without a solid mentor. If you have an organization with poor developers, then you’re not stepping up and using code reviews to mentor or taking time out of your day to educate. Most likely, your code is also not that well-written either or they would learn from that.
Carob is awesome! I like it much better than chocolate.

Is there some overall reason to call things something they are not?

Is this another form of meme illiteracy?
I don’t agree. What do you mean by all the additional nonsense if a class.

This sees to give an unreasonable leeway to copy pasted code to imperative functional languages. What if the copied function also has side effects, mutates a global variable etc. All these problems still exists.
They took the most upvoted ideas from the community forum and started implementing them. Maybe to win some users over, but I think it might be too late for this to have any impact on market share.

I'm also kinda disappointed they just copied the UI from Chrome instead of releasing a refreshed version of the previous implementation. Old Firefox tab groups were like Safari tab groups (or "workspaces" in Edge, Vivaldi, Zen and maybe others), and I think they are way better for organisation. Yeah, STG extension still exists, but having it built-in would be nice.
Thanks to generics you could theoretically work with whatever underlying type makes the most sense for your use-case.

let v1 : Inches<Ratio> = Ratio::new(5, 8).into();
let v2 : Inches<Ratio> = Ratio::new(3, 8).into();

let v3 : Feet<_> = (v1 + v2).into();

assert_equal!(v3, Ratio::new(1, 12));
I think they were highlighting that that phrase is bullshit. It’s trivial to escape many compile time checks.
Yeah I know what you meant, I agree, it's awful.
Good point! I'll have to add that in at some point after the holidays.

My motivation was entirely that I thought this was both a hilariously stupid use of a space station's telemetry stream, but also kind of amazing at the same time. Also a great excuse to learn Swift, but the sheer ridiculousness was what drove me.

Like I said in my earlier Show HN post on this (I think? Or maybe on Bluesky), it's remarkable that we live in a world where it takes an afternoon to bang out a joke application that reads actual realtime telemetry data from a space station's toilets.
Why should the user care? No corporate employee is worried about other employees figuring out their passwords. If that happens, the employer has bad security, and they'll suffer the consequences anyway. Why should the user put up with a crappy keyboard for the company's sake, unless the company is forcing them to? What an absurd take.

I remember one Star Trek writer theorizing that the Klingons were so cranky because they never put toilets in their ships.

I loved Babylon 5. One minor reason was because a scene was filmed in a restroom. With ultraviolet lights used in place of water for the handwashing. A sign that the characters are living in The Future. Showrunner J Michael Straczynski did this specifically as a small dig against Star Trek.
Well yes I still do lots of grepping and just search in all files if needed. It is not exclusive but if I can use good IDE features it helps to be quicker.

I also have notes I write down where search is must have as my notes are not structured anyway.
This is indeed the plan. We're currently working on generating embeddings for the all the bookmarks stored, and one of the usecases of this is going to be clustering. If a bookmark is similar to all other bookmarks in a list, the model can suggest adding those bookmarks to the list. Still a manual operation, but with ML assistance.

I fully agree. Limiting the amount of copies of software to sell them like a finite good has so many downsides:

1. There may be people who cannot use/afford some software, although there is technically an infinite supply.

2. Collaboration becomes awkward. Either all contributors give up their rights (Open Source), or one contributor holds all the rights and the rest is being treated unfairly. The latter decreases the incentives to make software modular and reusable.

3. The resulting software typically gets worse due to some copyright enforcement mechanisms. For example, no closed source software will ever have a good debugger, because that would allow viewing and changing the source code.

4. It creates a power imbalance between software owners and software users. Nearly all software has to be adapted over time, but the software owner has a monopoly on performing such adaptations. The result is enshittification, surveillance, and basically a return to feudalism where daily life is governed by a small number of overlords.

5. It is not clear how to price software fairly, and there is also little incentive to do so.

6. My impression is that high-quality software converges to formal proof, which is AFAIK not copyrightable.

For all these reasons, I think it is time to consider a world without copyright on software.

To those that worry about salaries in such a world: Negotiate payment in advance (contracts, crowdfunding, bounties, ...), or get a job where software is created as a byproduct (consultant, researcher, tester, ...).
See, you get it.
No. Use Quickbooks.

It is the simplest thing that might work.

Every minute you spend debating it is an excuse to avoid working on what matters. It is called “playing house.”

And it is easy to find people who work with Quickbooks and your accountant has Quickbooks integration.

Good luck.
Looks like it has both CA and particle-based. Sure it's cool but personally I'm a huge fan of a related type of simulation: 'Reaction Diffusion' both in terms of the less-aliasy (more continuous, and usually band-limited) visual results that it can produce, and also the range of primitive operations is more continuous and I would say wider, or at least meaningful in a different way (Laplacian, curvature, curl, gradient, complex numbers etc rather than discrete operations). There's some fun experiments on my YT from a while ago, here's an example:

I think this is and overlooked factor. Though living standards have not fallen, the perceived risk of it falling is probably at an all time high. We got rid of pretty much all cultural safety nets, and now people are desperate to replace the lost security.

The driving experience has some advantages - fast pickup, low center of gravity but the overall experience is far from wonderful. The build quality of a tesla specifically is horrendous - like a chevy malibu or worse. The controls are _awful_ as they lack buttons or door handles or a steering wheel. Highly unsafe to drive. Everything is enshitified to benefit the manufacturer. Nevermind the absolute lack of privacy and the redefinition of 'ownership' that seems to be bundled with 'EV', where you both purchase and subscribe to heated seats, cruise control, GPS or whatever else. The gaps between panels are not uniform or aligned. Zero consideration for repairability or replacement of body panels such that repair bills are through the roof (cybertruck not even insurable on many carriers). Endless recalls. Waiting an hour to fill your gas tank when an ICE takes 2 minutes. The list goes on. Yet the tesla envy is so strong that every other manufacturer just apes tesla such that much of the above is present on every single EV whether tesla or not. EVs at present feel like products worth $10-15k if. China seems to get this - they're inferior products but at 1/3 to 1/4 the price the value prop starts to make sense.

As someone who has looked into it, it's unfortunately far from actually being a universal option in practice. I understand that my situation isn't typical, but the commute to an actually-inclusive UU congregation (there are "conservative" ones) would be a significant burden for me, whereas I could easily walk to the closest church that routinely funds "missions" to Africa to spread the "Good News".
The magic of AlexNet has little do with Nvidia. It’s a more fundamental breakthrough than just the compute hardware used. Further, it’s not related to Nvidia either. Instead, it showed the promise of GPGPU. It just so happens that no one at the time and arguably still has a particularly competitive GPGPU offering other than Nvidia.
You're saying it's plausible that an electron is conscious?

Love this. I have done a fair amount of UI performance optimization and agree with the end-to-end strategy.

For UX stuff, 2 steps I’d add if you're expecting a big improvement:

1) Ship some way of doing a sampled measurement in production before the optimization goes out. Networks and the spec of the client devices may be really important to the UX thing you're trying to improve. Likely user devices are different from your local benchmarking environment.

2) Try to tie it to a higher level metric (e.g. time on site, view count) that should move if the UI thing is faster. You probably don't just want it to be faster, you want the user to have an easier time doing their thing, so you want something that ties to that. At the very least this will build your intuition about your product and users.

This really is a non-issue. If you're at the point where toxins from halon pyrolysis are a problem, then you're likely already dead from other factors (heat, smoke, etc.).

Halon can works even at concentrations of just 2-5% by volume. This is entirely safe to breathe for humans. There's a video of a person discharging a halon extinguisher in a room, and then proceeding to try to light a cigarette. The matches go out immediately after striking the matchbox and the lighter can't even ignite.

CO2 extinguishers are really worse, they need to displace most of the oxygen to be effective. Unfortunately, humans also need this oxygen.

In addition, CO2 stream can cool the burning material, but it can also spread it (so be careful if you use it on burning liquids).

> One of the problems with halon, and the write-up mentions this, is that it is super effective at starving the fire of oxygen

That's not actually quite how it works. But yes, the end result is the same. I'll copy-paste my comment from the Medium:

That's NOT how halon works! It's a common misconception, but it's incorrect. In fact, halon doesn't react with pretty much anything, it's very chemically stable. You can mix halon with pure oxygen and it'll just sit there, doing nothing.

This stability is exactly why it works so well. You need only a few _percent_ of halon by volume to stop the fires, not even close to consuming even a fraction of the 21% of oxygen.

Normal oxygen consists of two atoms bonded together (thus "O2"). And fire is spread by oxygen radicals, lone oxygen atoms that have an unpaired electron, eager to make bonds. In a fire, an oxygen radical reacts with a molecule of fuel, and this reaction produces enough energy to create at least one more oxygen radical, sustaining the chain reaction.

But halon has these chlorine and bromine atoms, they are bound tightly to carbon, but not as tightly as oxygen would be. So oxygen radicals have enough energy to displace them and bind to the central carbon atom. But the resulting energy release is not enough to create _more_ radicals, so the chain reaction is stopped.

Moreover, the chlorine radical can then snap back onto another carbon atom (from the fuel source), releasing a bit of energy, but not enough to create a new oxygen radical. And the cycle can repeat again.

I did a lot of work in unassisted vim when I was in university, and I would say the answer is twofold:

- you become a proficient user of tabs in whatever IDE or text editor or window manager you use. you open up header files (or collapsed source files, depending on the language/IDE) and reference the API you use.

- you get better at naming things. You don't need to guess the name of any specific API, because it makes sense within the context of your codebase. I believe this makes you a better programmer.
Learned about this last night and needless to say it was a gut punch. There is a whole generation of us that have Gordon to thank for our monthly pilgrimage to the magazine section looking for the latest edition of Maximum PC. Once a year we were treated to a buffet of hardware with amazingly high specs and prices to match with these Dream Machines later serving as mental checkpoints of the eras fastest personal compute. The. There was the effort that Gordon put into consumer advocacy in his columns, bad parts, badder corporate practices, and he was there fighting for us on the printed page.

Rest in peace Gordon.

No, just hjkl, which are not used that much when you have better options like e, w, b, }, etc. A lot of people make a big deal about hjkl in other layouts, but speaking from experience going from qwerty to dvorak to workman, it's not a big deal, and I don't rebind it. They're just letters ho be pressed, same as when you type them for spelling words, which you're already working hard to relearn when changing layouts. I think it's very doable.

Also, for dvorak in particular, it reminds me of those RC car controllers that split up the horizontal and vertical movement between your hands. It's the same with dvorak. H is left of L, both right hand, that's your left/right. J and K are right beside each other (and in same left to right order as qwerty), there's your down and up. Workman is a lot more nonsensical by comparison with all but h on right hand and j above k, but it doesn't bother me.
